Noel Gallagher and Beck are the two leading names confirmed for the 2018 Summer Sonic event, which will be held in Tokyo and Osaka this coming June.
Both released new albums last year; Beck peaking at #5 in the UK with Colors while Gallagher scored his record tenth number one at home with Who Built The Moon?.
“She Taught Me How To Fly too is recognisably vintage Noel Gallagher album track territory, this time a dream-like vibe setting it apart, gorgeously accentuated by vocals pushed right to the front of the mix, and which are absolutely perfect for songs such as this,” we said of the latter.
“The groove really gets going on Be Careful What You Wish For, which stands out for the departure in songwriting rather than mere production, Holmes this time able to take a back seat as Gallagher does all the work on a track which loops around a bass line and intangible backing vocals in a way he’s never attempted before.”
Other acts added to Summer Sonic include Mastodon, Jess Glynn and Chance The Rapper.
